Authorities said a Honda Accord driven by 47-year-old Teresa Bordeoux -with passengers 51-year-old Gary Bryant and 18-year-old Cassandra Carroll inside- was stopped at a red light in the right turn lane of Capital Boulevard at Old Buffaloe Road when a Chrysler PT Cruiser driven by 24-year-old Keosha Patton ran into the Honda.
